Eurotechno

The original film was an avant-garde experiment and features rapidly shifting colourful computer graphics, reflecting the influence of rave culture.

Eurotechno was a 1989 film created by video artists Stakker, made up of Mark Mclean, Marek Paytel and Colin Scott.

One of the British rave scene's earliest visual projects, the film was a "massive statement" that explored possibilities for audio-visual presentation, and featured colourful graphics, such as multi-coloured polygons, cut-and-pasted and edited with quick shifts.

[9] He found a Roland TB-303 – a synthesiser pivotal to acid house music – in the basement of his college, and proceeded to feature it heavily in the production of the film's soundtrack.

[4] The 25-minute soundtrack is split into 21 tracks, with intentionally jarring edits between musical sections ensuring no recognisable patterns or beats last for much longer than a brief appearance.

"[10] The soundtrack is intricately layered,[17] and throughout the music are "squelchy" Roland TB-303 sounds,[14] pounding grooves,[14] build-ups and breakdowns,[15] 'searing' techno and acidic bass lines.

[9] According to Andy Beta of Pitchfork, the frequencies in the music quickly distort into four-on-the-floor rhythms, but soon undergo "permutations" with "harsh powertools buzz" surrounding and cutting them.

[14] The music's tendency to eradicate recognisable patterns after a brief appearance proved influential on later day producers such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Bogdan Raczynski.

They referred to the soundtrack as an influential "acid lover's paradise" and wrote that, despite its short length, the album is "perfect for anyone looking to own a slice of dance-music history.

"[17] In a positive review for Pitchfork, Andy Beta noted the influence of the music on contemporary producers, and wrote that: "Either as a history lesson through the classic Acid noises of a decade back, or as just a good ol' mix, Eurotechno is still quite quick and efficient work, even for a time machine.

The music on Eurotechno incorporates the Roland TB-303 .
